What is Accessible IVF?
Accessible IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a modified In Vitro Fertilization procedure which utilizes the INVOcell device. After eggs are harvested, eggs and sperm are loaded into the INVOcell, a small medical-grade plastic device . The device is then placed into the patient’s vagina, allowing for a more natural ‘in vivo’ fertilization and embryo culture. The patient then returns to the office, the device is removed, and embryos are retrieved from the device, evaluated, and placed into the patient’s uterus.
